Ths PosT- IHTELLIaKEoER takes plea
eure In announcing that work viii be
began upom the second seolion Of the
Seattle, Laks Shore a Eastern - sson
a. track laying on the division nov IN
der sontraei is completed, and the road
viii BE- pushed forward 10 completion
as fast a. nsn can do the work. The
second division will bring the road 10
the sammit Of the Cascade Mountains,
ana the dlfaculties Of the route viii Be
practically overcome. The heaviest
work is on the second division. and
when u ie completed the further pro-
srsss Of the road into the grain fields Of
Eastern Washington viii be oOmpar-
asivsly easy.
II Is not surprising that money is
readily forthcoming TO push shis road
to compilation as rapidly - voFknen
can Be procured 20 build IL. A survey
Of the siiuat ton cannot but convince the
most careful investor that thisis piece
Of property In which be can safely risk
his money. Il is not saying too much
70 asssFt that The Eeaitle, Lake Shore h
Eastern when completed from Paeet
Sound to the grain fields east Of the
mountains viii b one Of The best paying
pieces Of railroad property on the
Paolfie Coast. Il has advantages over
ell competitors. not only In its route,
bat 10 the fact that It's earnings will
not have 10 hslp sustain hundreds OF
miles Of unpFoductivs road. The grain
aad other trafio between Extern and
Western Washington alone win make
the road q splendid piece Of property,
bat that will not be i.s only source Of
revenue. The magnificent timber, the
coal and iron beds, the wonderful d.
posts Of marble and the rich valleys
through which the western end Of the
road will pass, will combine 10 make
every mile Of the line pay handsomely.
Nobody realizes the advantages which
ths new road win have better than do
the managers Of the Northern Pacific.
Already they are talking Of buildina
branches 10 contest with Il for the trafiio

qualmle region. THAR own line run
